On that same note, Paul van Splunteren's team is developing the Porsche 997 GT4, but now there are also newsitems popping up about Speedlover doing the same. Didn't FIA grant one team the right to develop an official GT4 car of a certain make/model? Or is it that anybody can develop the car, after which the FIA chooses the car that will be allowed in the championship?
BMW M3 GT4 from G&A Racing:

So according this interview with Guido Kenis (G&A) they and BMW Motorsport have both built a M3 GT4. Not very smart from SRO to allow different "manufacturers" for the same car model.
